What reading level is Thomas Carlyle book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Dean Stanley said truly about Carlyle that, in his earnest endeavours in this labour, he " almost made himself a soldier and a statesman. " Yet, notwithstanding all his pains, he seems to have felt sometimes as though Frederick" were hid from him behind the accumulations of historical material. He says " I never was admitted to Frederick's confidence, and I never cared very much about him. " With the latter part of this dictum the majority of his readers agreed, for to the thinking and sympathe...tic world Frederick was the devil's fiddler in that Dance of Death which history calls the Seven Years' War. To Von Ense in Germany he growled, " What the devil had I to do with your Frederick ? " while to others he said that he had tried to put some humanity into Frederick, but found it hard work.
His eulogy of Frederick at first shocked the country, for that monarch was the human embodiment of Might without Right. Men were more inclined to accept Macaulay's estimate of the warrior whose power de-' manded in one battle nine acres of graveyard for the dead that fell for the whim of his greed for aggrandise- FREDERICK THE GREAT 75 ment of possessions and of self.
